Where Have You Been
Experimental electronic with unstable drifting tempo, fragmented transient clicks, sparse distant sub-bass, harsh digital textures, and cold granular synth layers; verse packs dense, clipped lines then drops into near silence; chorus narrows to dissonant single-voice fragments and tight doubles; abrupt collapses, hard mutes, micro-glitches, and short delay throws; detached studio mix, dry and sharp, with no live warmth, abstract, steady, harsh, lyrical, experimental, electronic

Lyrics
Verse 1
Who breaks first tonight?
It has gone on all night.
We said too much, then cried.
I still do not know why.
You were gone for four nights.
You left me with the fallout.
I could not sit with it.
Bad thoughts kept looping.
Pre-Chorus
Say it plain.
Do not hide.
You left.
Then went silent.
I kept waiting.
I kept checking.
No reply.
No answer.
Chorus
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I waited by the door.
You did not answer me.
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I saw the end start.
I saw it clearly.
Verse 2
Now every detail stays.
Your words come back exact.
I replay every line.
I track the missing hours.
You went off the map.
You cut off contact.
I stayed in one place.
You kept moving.
Pre-Chorus
Say it plain.
Do not hide.
You left.
Then went silent.
I kept waiting.
I kept checking.
No reply.
No answer.
Chorus
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I waited by the door.
You did not answer me.
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I saw the end start.
I saw it clearly.
Bridge
No more delay.
No more gaps.
One answer.
One line.
If you are gone,
say you are gone.
If you are back,
then prove it now.
Final Chorus
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I waited by the door.
You did not answer me.
Where have you been?
Tell me, where have you been?
I saw the end start.
I saw it clearly.
